Raytheon Co.—Has received an order from the US Air Force to produce four radar pods with ground-moving target indication and synthetic-aperture radar technology. The radar will be mounted under the wings of MQ-9 Reaper aircraft.

RELM Wireless Corp.—Has received its first order under a previously announced Tactical-Communications (TacCom) contract with the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Totaling approximately $128,000, the order is for P25 digital, very-high-frequency (VHF) portable radios and related equipment.

Lockheed Martin—Has received a Phase I Airborne Launch Assist Space Access (ALASA) program study contract from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). The order is valued at about $6.2 million. The ALASA program is geared toward the development of technologies that will maintain vital satellite capabilities during a crisis.
